Since both men and women contribute significantly to a country's growth, the development of any nation largely relies on gender equality. The role performed by women in the growth framework should not be overlooked. However, there have also been atrocities committed against women in India, where women are revered as goddesses. The oppressed women have made significant progress and our culture has changed to become a mute witness. Despite improvements in the status of women, many of them have not been able to overcome obstacles. Women's empowerment is a potent tool to increase women's access to resources and ability to make wise life decisions in this context. The process of improving women's economic, societal and political standing is known as "empowering women." It acts as a powerful tool to protect women from all forms of abuse.
